[david-lyle 2014-02-28] this needs a rebase and rework based on other changes merged, won't be ready for icehouse.

[amotoki 2014-06-07] The review was abandoned. I hope the work is resumed. If you don't have time to work, I can volunteer to land the patch.

[jpichon 2014-06-10] Not sure what is the status for this, I noticed the owner has changed over to Matthew but there doesn't seem to be a new patch? I'll set the status back to "Started" for now.

[gary-smith 2014-06-10] Neither this blueprint for the patch mentions deleting backups, which is an
integral part of supporting volume backups. Can that be included in this blueprint (given its title), or
should a new one be created?

[lin-hua-cheng 2014-06-11] Talked to Matt, I'll take over fixing the comments.
